Andrea Sneiderman, a mother of two, also faced a murder charge at one point in the case. Days before her trial, a judge dismissed the murder charge after the district attorney said he lacked the evidence to win a conviction.

Instead, she was tried on perjury-related charges. During her trial, prosecutors said she lied to police and to a jury about a romantic relationship between her and her boss, Hemy Neuman. She has denied any such relationship.
